The issue around vaccination has shaken up the tennis world. Novak Djokovic’s deportation from Australia, earlier this year, divided the opinions of both fans and pundits in the tennis world. Tennys Sandgren, the American player, is a staunch supporter of the Serb. He recently took to Twitter to take a dig at American authorities, who asked people to take the updated COVID-19 vaccine and the flu shot.

Recently, the Chief Medical adviser and the COVID-19 response director asked people to take a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Tennys Sandgren took a dig at the vaccination campaign of the American authorities

The American tennis player took to his Twitter to take a dig at the Chief Medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci. “Get your updated COVID-19 shot as soon as you’re eligible…“, said Dr. Fauci in a press conference. To this, Sandgren replied, “Prison.” Apart from that, the COVID-19 response director also voiced similar opinions as Dr. Fauci. He said, “God gave you two arms” and asked people to take both the updated COVID-19 vaccine and the flu shot.

Tennys Sandgren tweeted, “God gave me two arms so I could tweet. Anyone of influence and power still spouting this should be in prison. Or at least fined 3 trillion dollars.”
